How To Reduce Hair Fall Through Ayurvedic Treatment?

The term hair fall refers to the loss of the hair from the head or from the other parts of the body. In other words, we can say that hair fall means the falling or thinning of the hair from the scalp on the head. Hair fall can be either for a short time or for a long period of time and can also result in baldness. Hair Fall can be of various types: severe, moderate or mild. The biological term for 'Hair Fall'' is Alopecia. Hair fall occurs due to changes in hormones, stress, various medications related to the hair, etc. Hair Fall also occurs due to the deficiency of Vitamin D in the body. Due to the deficiency of Vitamin D, new hair can't be grown.

Causes of Hair Fall::--

The causes of  hair fall are as follows:

1. Lack of proteins:-

Hair fall occurs due to the lack of proteins. Due to the lack of proteins, hair on the scalp becomes thin. A protein, known as Keratin, is responsible for the thickening of the hairs. If there is a deficiency of Keratin in the body, then there will be a greater chance of hair fall.

2. Heredity:-

The genetic variability is also responsible for hair fall. Men and Women both suffer from hair fall because of genes. Various genes are recognized which increases the chances of hair fall. It is said because of this reason only that Hair Fall runs.

4. Use of wrong products:-

Using the wrong chemical products is one of the main reasons for hair fall. It's always better to use products that protect and maintain hair growth and which reduce hair fall. Before using any product, consult a dermatologist and then only use the product. Any wrong chemical product can lead to a greater amount of hair fall.

5. Stress:-

Stress is one of the most common causes of hair fall. Emotional stress can cause a less chance of hair fall than physical stress. Physical stress can cause a large amount of hair fall. Physical stress can include death of the parents, divorce, aging parents etc. 

6. Weight loss:- 

For losing weight, many people reduce their diet. People forget that a balanced diet is necessary for the overall growth of the hair and body. But due to the improper diet, lack of proteins and vitamins occur resulting in hair fall.

7. Deficiency of vitamins:-

Vitamins are a group of organic compounds which are essential for the growth of hair. Lack of biotin (Vitamin B7) or Vitamin D can lead to hair fall.

8. Hormonal changes:-

Hormonal changes can also result in hair loss. Hormonal changes occur due to the starting of different medicines, implementation vitamins etc.
